Agulu— A priest of Anglican Diocese of Awka, Revd. Dunu Chinedu has heaped praise on the leading aspirant for November 6 election under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP), Senator Uche Ekwunife for being the brains behind the numerous ongoing projects across Anambra Central Senatorial District, saying that if he was to be a politician he would suggest PDP should unanimously hand over the party ticket to Ekwunife so that she will drive the state towards economic growth and prosperity. He said that Agulu Anglican community and Awka Diocese were impressed by the extent of progress Ekwunife has made in the education sector since she was elected in 2019.
The cleric who spoke recently when Ekwunife, represented by a delegation led by the former Commissioner for Women Affairs, Lady Henrietta Agbata paid a visit for the flag off of the perimeter fence she attracted to the school thanked the Igbo-Ukwu born Senator for the project, describing her as an exceptional lawmaker.
Recalling the plethora of projects attracted to many communities in the state by Ekwunife he appreciated the economic importance of projects like roads, construction of market stalls, construction of school and administrative blocks, street lights as well as her robust legislative engagements on the floor of the senate.
Ekwunife who had promised a sterling representation for the people of the zone during the last elections had identified fencing the entire school as necessary for securing the students and assets of the Anglican owned school.
Reminiscing, an NYSC Corp member who teaches in the school, Mr. Innah Elijah Ojolade narrated how dilapidated he met the school upon reporting after he was posted to the school, noting that the infrastructure deficit made him think the school was abandoned in ruins. He noted that he was happy with the recent development in the school and said Ekwunife is reviving the school.
Commending, the Chaplain of the school, Revd. Benjamin Chijioke applauded the Chairman Senate Committee on Science and Technology and said that she is the type needed to pilot the affairs of the state. He stated that Ekwunife’s project are too numerous to mention and wished she continues to seek for elective positions.
The students who spoke through their Senior Prefect, Master Samuel Ugochukwu lauded the Senator, noting that she is transforming the state with developmental projects. They promised to study harder and become good ambassadors of the society.
Meanwhile, the Senator has reiterated her commitment towards delivering dividends of democracy to the zone.
